Oregon City is watching with in terest the political skirmish prelimi nary to the appointment of the state highway commission. The municipali ty particularly and the county in gen eral have a number of projects under way which will depend largely upon the attitude of the new body. With tha possibility that the state highway commission may be changed from a non-salaried to a salaried office, since such a change is advocated by Governor-elect Walter M. Pierce, and prob ably will be recommended by him in his message to tha coming legislature, it is said there will be a raft of can didates for appointment to the three commission offices. The salary doubt less would.be $3600 to $5000 annually. Among those who are said to be possibilities is Jack R. McKay, pres ent roadmaster of Lane county. An other possibility is W. J. Culver, Marion county roadmaster for many years and who has built road3 satis factory to the taxpayers of his county. Another who is mentioned is How ard B. Evans of Portland, who is connected with the Buffalo Pitts Steam Roller company. . He is said to be receptive toward a place on the commission if it becomes a sal aried office. George McGee of Hillsboro, who built and repaired 1000 miles of road for the United States government while a soldier in France, is among the possibilities, and also it is said that Asa B- Robinson, county judge of Polk county, might not be averse to accepting one of the highway com- cissionerships. C. E. Spence, grange master, is also mentioned being in a receptive mood. Rufus C- Holman, Multnomah coun ty commissioner, is considered a likely appointee.

Wiseman, of Milwaukie and Bertha Lee Bittner. of Estacada. Canby Masons Name Officers for 1923 LONDON, Dec. 19. Sir Auckland Geddes, in response to a definite cablegram from the British foreign 6f ice, stated today that the United States "has not taken any action to wards granting a loan to Europe, nor participating in the reparations ne gotiations in Paris next month." The message was sent to London by the British diplomat for the guid ance Of the British cabinet. Announcement was made at the for eign office that the cabinet will hold a series of meetings during the ensu ing week to consider reparations from all angles. Washington dispatches warn the British against too much optimism over the possibility of American inter vention in European affairs. The con flicting reports are having a mixed effect upon British sentiment; The Westminster Gazette said that last week's stories indicating that the United States would help Germany had a salutary effect upon certain European goyerments and increased the strength of Premier Bonar Law's government in London. Ability to take full charge of a high class dairy herd either for pro duction or breeding, strikes a number of young me"h-who had to quit high school, before finishing, as about the right thing. One such from centra? Oregon writes P. M. Brandt, chief of dairy husbandry as the state college: "The herdsman's course seems to be the kind suited to my condition, as I have not finished high school work and would not be able to take -the four-year course in dairy hus bandry. If you still have an, opening when this letter reaches you will you please reserve me a place. The course opens January 2 and ends June 10. , Care of the heard in pasture, lot . and barn, including grazing, handling; grooming, milking, feeding and breed ing, will be taught by instruction, training and experience especially experience. If the student is unable to take -full charge of the dairy herd it will not be for want of experience. From early morning, generally away before daylight, at intervals till after night fall, the work goes on. As fast as new principles are learned they are put into effect on the fine pure-bred college herds, which must be handled with skill as it con tains some record producers. Appli cations should be made early to insure a place, as the course is new and at tractive. At the regular meeting of Cham- poeg lodge No. 27. A- F and A.
